广西南宁三中五象校区2024-2025学年八年级上学期9月月考英语试题
Once, there were two hard- working children, Che Yin and Sun Kang. They love reading, but their families were poor and couldn't buy lamp oil(灯油) for the children to study at night. How did they get over the difficulty? Here are their stories.
Che Yin's story began on a hot summer night. He saw fireflies (萤火虫) flying and an idea came into his mind. He caught some fireflies in a cloth bag and hung it up (悬挂) as a light. He spent all of his summer nights reading like this.
The other story happened in winter. Sun Kang woke up on a cold night. He saw the moon shine so brightly on the snow and it made the night brighter."I can read with the light!" he thought . So he took his books outside and read, even though it was very cold.
Later, Che Yin and Sun Kang became successful. Their stories were turned into the Chinese words nangying yingxue. Difficulties can't stop young minds from learning. If there is a will, there is always light on the road to knowledge.
From small ants to big whales, almost all animals need to sleep. Some sleep a little. Some sleep a lot. And some have special ways to get their sleep.
| Some seabirds spend most of their lives over the ocean. And they can sleep while they are flying. They can fly for many hours without moving their wings. |
| A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg always stays straight. The other leg stays close to its body. Its head rests on its back. |
| Horses often sleep standing up. If a horse lies down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing. And horses only need about three hours of sleep a day! |
| Giraffes win the prize(奖) for sleeping the least. They sleep about 30 minutes a day, and 5 minutes at a time. They lie down when they sleep. They rest their heads on their bodies or on the ground. What a strange way of sleeping! |
| A dolphin sleeps with just half its head at a time. The other half must stay awake(醒着的) to take in air and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. |
